DENVER, July 18,
2024 /CNW/ -- LifeLoop, the leading resident and
staff experience solution for senior living, today announced its
acquisition of Linked Senior, an evidence-based resident engagement
platform supporting person-centered care. This acquisition brings
together senior living's top resident experience solutions, further
cementing LifeLoop as the industry's most comprehensive software
platform for operators, staff, residents, and their families.
With an aligned mission focused on improving the lives of
seniors and those who support them, and an impressive combined
42-year tenure of delivering cutting-edge technologies to senior
living operators, LifeLoop and Linked Senior customers can expect
an unparalleled experience going forward.
This merger comes at a crucial time as the industry actively
prepares to support the influx of 76 million seniors who are
aging into and exploring senior living care and lifestyle options.
This need is compounded further by ongoing caregiver and staffing
shortages that impact operators' ability to provide exceptional
services and experiences. Innovation that enables senior living
operators to efficiently and effectively deliver high resident
engagement and satisfaction, while delighting and retaining staff,
is paramount.
"Mission alignment was essential for us in this decision, and we
couldn't be prouder to join forces with LifeLoop," said Linked
Senior Founder & CEO, Charles de Vilmorin. "Innovation-led
solutions are the only way to achieve—and scale—how this industry
supports the care and enriched lifestyles that older adults both
need and deserve. Together, with LifeLoop, we can further partner
with senior living operators in delivering meaning and purpose to
their residents and staff every day."
LifeLoop's existing platform, boasting the largest library of
clinically backed resident engagement content and data-driven
insights, will be augmented with Linked Senior's evidence-based
engagement solution. The combined offering will empower operators
with advanced capabilities that are proven to personalize the
resident experience, increase family engagement, remove
administrative burden for staff, and deliver a profound ROI.
Once the platforms are integrated, Linked Senior customers will
have the ability to benefit from LifeLoop's extensive operations
features that streamline critical workflows for staff and provide
data-driven capabilities to optimize and analyze community
performance. Essential operations features include calendar
management and design, resident and family communication apps,
digital displays, work and transportation requests, and more.
"Having had such great experiences with Linked Senior, we're
thrilled about the merger with LifeLoop," said Merrill Gardens
Corporate Director of Memory Care, Jamie
Johnson. "At Merrill Gardens, we're committed to investing
in technology that provides a tangible impact on improving resident
life. LifeLoop brings a whole new level of resident experience
expertise coupled with advanced solutions for our staff that align
perfectly with our evolving data-driven innovation strategy."
Just over two years ago LifeLoop merged with iN2L and rebranded
as LifeLoop, successfully uniting industry-best resident experience
and operations platforms into a single solution. As a result of the
Linked Senior merger, LifeLoop will welcome 50,000 new residents
and 600 communities to its customer base across the U.S. and
Canada. In addition, LifeLoop
offerings and services will be amplified with the deep senior
living expertise and experience of the entire Linked Senior team.
With the acquisition, de Vilmorin and Linked Senior co-Founder
& COO, Jeff Moore, will move
into the positions of General Manager and Vice President, Linked
Senior, to focus on the promise of a 'white-glove' transition
experience for customers and employees, and the joint vision for
the combined companies.
"We are thrilled to welcome Charles and his talented team of
senior living experts to the LifeLoop family," said LifeLoop CEO,
Rob Fisher. "Linked Senior has not
only delivered high-impact engagement solutions to the market, but
also renowned support to their customers and the industry. We join
them in our dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction and
meaningful outcomes as our highest priorities."
LifeLoop is celebrating its official 25th anniversary
of serving older adults and senior living operators this year. This
strategic acquisition enables the acceleration of its vision to
impact the lives of one in three older adults in senior living by
2027.
